Hello, this is Canadian MGTOW. Having fun! and not giving a shit!

And if it is one thing I don't give a
shit about, it was the Emma Watson speech at the UN, where she launched the
He-for-She campaign. When it comes to
her speech, I was listing off everything in it that I had issues with, and the
list just kept getting longer and longer.
Some comments I read online struck a chord, and are included here as
well. I have given attributions where possible.
So I present to you, 84 issues I have with Emma Watsons He-for-She
campaign speech. In no particular order.

#1. If
He-For-She is about gender equality, why is it not called We-For-We, or
Us-for-Us?

#2. She
speaks to how feminism has become a bad word, but she doesn't address why many
men and women are alienated from it. Do tell...

#3. It
has taken 40+ years to be "invited to the table." Why is that?

#4. Why
did it take 40+ years of feminist conferences to finally clue in that men only
made a small portion of the audience?

#5. Feminism
promotes strong independent women that need no men; so why do you need us now!?

#6. Why
not simply rebrand yourself as humanists or egalitarians? Is it because you would lose funding?

#7. He-For-She
seems to imply that HE needs to somehow save she; is this your cutesy way of
perpetuating female victimhood?

#8. Is
He-For-She an appeal to bring back Chivalry? I thought feminists hated chivalry
because it was sexist. I guess
He-for-She doesn't sound sexist? Really?

#9. He-For-She
is a phrase that captures today's society; HIS servitude for HER wants.

#10. Where
is the She-for-He campaign? Sounds like the one-way street feminism is known
for, namely focussing on ONE gender in the name of equality.

#11. No
mention of men's rights... just some vague sound bite of "women's freedom
will be good for you too."

#12. Emma
mentioned her father, but did not touch on the issue of Father's rights... Just
that he wasn't appreciated as much by society.

#13. No
mention of men's issues and how they are often dismissed, or their advocates
being labelled misogynist.

#14. He-For-She
REDUCES MEN TO DISPOSABLE UTILITIES. ALWAYS EXPECTING MEN TO DO STUFF FOR
WOMEN... Just because.

#15. WHEN
HAVE WOMEN EVER DONE ANYTHING FOR MEN? When has a man stood up at the UN and
asked women to support men? Oh, right... never.

#16. How
can a woman genuinely understand what it is to be a man; especially in today's
gynocentric world. You are so blinded by
your privilege, you can't see it.

#17. Why
does the UN entertain a feminist campaign, while there are 64 wars currently
going on, and an Ebola epidemic that could spread in the near future and affect
1,000,000 people?

#18. How
is Emma's speech, that tows the liberal feminist party line, considered
“game-changing”?

#19. Standard
feminist logic: when men improve, women will naturally improve as well. The idea that women might not naturally
improve, is so foreign and incomprehensible to them.

#20. Movements
can be - and I think should be - defined by how they react to their extremists.
So for instance, At a men's conference in Detroit they had to move venues, pay
tens of thousands of dollars in extra security costs, and it was almost cancelled
as a result of radical feminist bomb threats. I did not see any write-ups, any
outrage or any condemnation of the threats from feminists.

#21. You've
invited men to the table, but what about the
agender and gender queer individuals? What about all those "in
between" people that you talk of whenever you promote your idea that
gender is a spectrum?

#23. How
can a feminist understand men, if they don't even understand the needs of other
women. What does it matter if African
girls don't get a secondary education if they don't have enough to eat in the
first place, or a war is waging on in their country? You know, one of those 64 wars currently
going on that the UN should be focussing on!

#24. Amazing
that the media got so fired up about this fairly standard statement of basic
human rights in relation to women. Put a
man in the same setting talking about men's rights, and you will see which
gender is privileged.

#25. Watson
ends her speech with a call to these "inadvertent" feminists
(presumably, male) to step forward and ally with He-For-She. Which, translated,
reads: you don't need to examine your reluctance to identify as feminist; you
don't need to examine the stigmatization of the word (or what that
stigmatization serves); you don't need to be intentional about your politics.
Guess what? You can be an accidental feminist!
Sounds like you want just extra bodies, to get more votes, to enact even
more sexist laws.

#26. Emma
and her supporters won't be happy until there is no longer a designation as male
or female. One day a person can decide they are a male, the next day female,
and the day after that both. I have no need for a unisex society.

#27. What
if we take up Joss Whedon's position that people should stop labelling
THEMSELVES "-ists"... Nobody calls themselves a racist and pretends
it's a benefit to their race, using the term "genderist" for anyone
who wishes to separate or disparage one or the other sex holds far more power
in peer pressure.

#28. Emma
spoke (as a white privileged feminists) of her disappointment at being called
bossy when she wanted to lead and direct plays when she was 8. But for MILLIONS of other 8 year olds across
the world, they face the prospect of being forced into child marriages, or
going hungry so that the boys in the family can be fed, or carrying the burden
of supporting and helping their mothers, and,
essentially never experiencing a childhood. Oh, that poor little rich girl from Britain!

The rest of the 84 issues will be covered in part 2 and 3!

MGTOW Definition

Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) refers to men committed to self-determination. Referring to oneself as a Man Going His Own Way (MGHOW) is a statement of self-ownership and a declaration that a man has the supreme right to decide what his goals in life will be as opposed to having his goals dictated by others who, in preference to self-determination, prescribe utility-based roles for males entailing servitude to women and society.
